The cat was brought into the Stockton Animal Shelter on May 14, an arrow protruding from her head. It had just missed an eye, her jugular and her brain, but it had been there for several days, according to Tammie Murrell, interim director of the shelter.

Veterinarian Sarah Lamborn was able to save the cat, and Lamborn's 9-year-old daughter, Hana, bestowed the name because the cat was shot with love at the shelter.

And now Cupid is ready to bestow love on whoever wants to give her a new home, devoid of such dangers as bows and arrows.

Cupid was transferred on Thursday from the Animal Shelter to the Animal Protection League, 7602 Murray Dr. She will be on display, as are dozens of other adoptable animals, from noon to 5 p.m. today. The league is also open from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, but Murrell said she's hoping Cupid will have a new home by closing Friday.

That will give her three days to love on her new steward through the long holiday weekend.
